I want to execute a postbuild command after every build, no matter what project

  • 0

I want to execute a postbuild command after every build, no matter what project in my solution has changed.

To accomplish this in Visual Studio 2010, I made one empty project depend on every other project, so it always got built, executing its postbuild command. However, Visual Studio 2012 (RC) appears to recognize that the dependency is not real, and will not build this empty project automatically.

I do not see any way to specify a solution postbuild script in solution settings. How can I accomplish this?

    I have solved this issue by making my post-build script also delete the output (bin**) of this “empty” project, forcing a rebuild of this project every time. It appears to work satisfactorily so far.
